Ride. Road Barbecue.

On last Thursday we had the pleasure
to attend the barbecue at Ridge Road
Academy. The road from here there is
long and We were inclined to complain OF
the distance and the condition of the road,
bat since we learn that two young men
left here Oh Thursday morning for the
same place and did not arrive until after
we left, about 5 o'clock, We feel that We
were fortunate There can be but little
doubt, however, that little work on sore
OF the public roads of the county wou'd
not do any halIn.
We were glad of the opportunity on ,
more to visit this section of tie county
and renew old acquaintances and meet
old friends. There were about 800 per-
, sons present and most excellent barbe-
cue dinner spread for the small sum of 81
Co2ts. There was plenty and one h91 al;
the time he wanted to eat.
The people of this section have IN
course of const. action a nice church
building at tnis pla. e, and the barbecue
was to raise money to help complete the
church. The dinner we were told helped
considerably.
In the afternoon speeches were made
by Hon. J. 4. Sigh, E. II. Aull and
Harry H. Blease, Esq.
Crops are looking well all along the
road. The heavy rains of the past few
days have done considerable dimage to
the bottoms.

.,es to be Attended To.

It is important to the town OF New
berry, at large, as well as to every indi-
yidual in it, that every precaution should
be exercised to preserve the good health
of her citizens. The board of health
should recommend everything necessary
to be done, and the city authorities
should cooperate with the board in this
matter. There have been several cases
Of fever reported at the factory, and
some OF them have proved fatal. We
are told that there are several local
causes over there which may help to
produce this fever, and which at least
are repulsive to cleanliness. This mat
ter we understand has been brought to
the attention of the council, and we
trust will receive immediate atten-
ton.
Let everything be done to preserve
the good health of Newberry.

A MeritorlOus Product.

Emerson, we believe, once said genius
could not be hid, though it be buried in
the forest, the world would cut by-ways
and find it out. The same remarks
would apply with equal force to Pei
hams Chill Specific. This remedy has
gained the confidence of the public and
is rapidly taking the place Of similar
preparations.
Last week an order was received from
Messrs. Oscar Frommell & Bro, suit
and produce importers, New York.
They had heard of the wonderful prop
critics of Pelham's Chill Specific, and it
is supposed wanted some for Use on
board of ships they run between New
York and the tropics. No better evil
dence of the increasing popularity is
needed, and this season it is destined,to
become more in use than ever-being

Gave an open air concert from the
court house piazza on Monday evening.
Under the efficient instruction of Mr.. j.
W. Taylor the band has made rapid and
excellent advancement, as was fully er-
idenced by the performance Monday
eyening-the first appearance before the
public. Newberry had the finest anna
teur band in the State several years, and
enjoyed that reputation abroad, as was
testified to by the unanimous verdict OF
travelling men on all occasions, and by
engagements at the State Fairs and
elsewhere. The band was broken up
by the removal OF number OF its mem
bers from Newberry. The present band
although it has been in existence such
short whiie-gives fair promise Of TAX
ing the high place OF its predecessor.
Mr.. Taylor is 4 fine cornetist and good
teacher, but he has sound material to
work or, and their quick improvement
consequently reflects ere it upon each
other.

BLOOD POISON.

Three years ago I contracted a blood
poison. 1 applied to physician at once
| and his treatment came near killing me.
I employed an old physician and then
went to Ky. Ithen went to Hot Springs
and remained two months, but nothing
seemed to cure me permanently, al
though temporary relief was given me.
Ny condition grew worse and applied
to noted quack, but l did not improve.
I then used 4 preparation which was
prescribed ''gratis," but it contained too
much alcohol and aggravated my suffer
ings. then placed myself under the
treatment of a noted Nashville physl-
clan and for a time was benefited, but
by fall 1 returned home ruined man
physically and financially, with but lit
tie prospects of ever getting we'll. My
money being exhausted, did not know
what to do In May, 1885, my mother
persuaded me to get bottle OF B. B. B.
(made in Atlanta) and I did so to crafty
her, but to my utter astonishment had
not finished the first bottle before every
ulcer had been healed.
70 the present time have used five
bottles and have received more benefit
than from all the rest combined; and |
am satisfied that B. B. B. is the most
wonderful blood purifier ever before
known, and l urge all afflicted young
men to try one single bottle and be con-
vinced. can truly say think it the
best medicine in the world.

VERY NERVOUS.
For many years have been afflicted
with rheumatism combined with some
Kidney troubles. Indigestion finally
added to my misery and I soon became
feeble and very nervous, and my whole
system was prostrated. Several physi-
clans were employed and numerous
patent medicines resorted to without
benefit. After seeing so many testimo-
malls extolling the wonderful merits Of
B. B. B., commenced its use and the
effects was like magic. Rheumatic pains
ceased, my kidneys were relieved and
my constitution improved at once, and
cheerfully recommend it to others who
may be similarly afflicted.
